'Seattle and Portland have become hotbeds of violence between conservatives and Antifa, as groups such as the Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer have had their permitted rallies crashed by black-clad leftists in often-violent confontations.

At minimum, the conservative groups should be able to hold their gatherings with the expectation that the local police will uphold the law and respect their right to do so. But what happens when the cops don't do that - and in fact take sides?
